ABSTRACT:
A control mode of an intake valve lift controller is changed between a low-speed mode and a high-speed mode. Based on the control mode, an ignition timing is adjusted. When a knocking is detected by a knock sensor after the control mode is changed from the low-speed mode to the high-speed mode, it is determined that the intake valve lift controller has a malfunction in which the intake valve lift controller is stuck in the low-speed mode. When a combustion stability is lowered to a predetermined level after the control mode is changed from the high-speed mode to the low-speed mode, it is determined that the intake valve lift controller has a malfunction in which the intake valve lift controller is stuck in the high-speed mode.
